Hot tubs are not suitable for children and even then there are health restrictions. Pregnant ladies should not use them, nor people with cardi ovascular disease. Alcohol and large communal hot tubs are not a good idea either. Tourists are often requested to sign a disclaimer when hiring a property with a hot tub although there really is little need if people behave sensibly.

Indulging in the soothing warm water of a hot tub is pleasurable for most and beats meeting people down at the local pub because it reduces inhibitions. It is easy to see why people would like to bubble away in an outdoor hot tub, sip wine and chat with friends. Most of us have happily climbed into a hot tub or Jacuzzi at the local swimming pool without a thought about hygiene or safety.

However, we are considering a hot tub that cannot hold more than about 8 people at most and the weather of Edinburgh is not that suitable for lengthy periods semi-naked indoors or out. The maximum time spent in a hot tub in any one session is generally up to 30 minutes. The massaging and pulsating jet action is timed from the press of a buttonand then it is a quick sprint into your holiday rental unless the weather is very warm.

The majority of holidays makers are aware of the type of weather they can expect in Edinburgh. it is wise to be prepared for all seasons.

A hot tub is a lovely extra to have if you enjoy that kind of thing but it is not to everyone’s taste. It might be worth considering the various additional facilities available with cottage breaks to make your stay more enjoyable..
